	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>The government is undertaking a comprehensive and ongoing programme of analytical work across a range of scenarios for EU exit. As part of this, we are engaging closely with the higher education (HE) sector, including through my High Level Stakeholder Working Group on EU Exit, Universities, Research and Innovation. <br> <br> The UK is a highly attractive destination for EU and international students, second only to the USA in the numbers we attract, and we recognise that student mobility is a key issue for our world-class HE sector. The government has commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to provide an objective assessment of the impact of EU and international students by September 2018. This provides an important opportunity for the sector to share evidence, and the MAC’s independent advice will help inform decisions on the future migration system.</p><p> </p><p>To help provide certainty, we have also announced that EU students starting courses in England in the academic year 2018/19 or before will continue to be eligible for student loans and home fee status for the duration of their course, and will remain eligible for Research Council PhD studentships on the current basis. These students will also have a right to remain in the UK to complete their course.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 06/03/2018 10:32:43 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2017 answer text <p>The government’s statutory guidance, <em>Working Together to Safeguard Children</em>, is clear about the importance that we attach to preventative services. Providing help early, before issues and problems escalate, is more effective in promoting the welfare of children than reacting later. <em>Working Together </em>sets out that local agencies should work together to assess local needs for early help support and should design and deliver services to meet these needs. This includes delivering family counselling services where appropriate. It is right that decisions about the provision of services, including preventative, early help services, are taken locally by agencies that are best placed to plan provision, taking account of local needs and circumstances.</p><p>The Department for Education’s Children’s Social Care Innovation Programme was launched in October 2013 to catalyse the development of more effective ways of supporting vulnerable children to build evidence of what works. The Innovation Programme is supporting projects that deliver family group conferencing involving the family and extended family members to help make decisions about the best way to support the family and take care of their child. Leeds City Council has been funded through the Innovation Programme to embed restorative practice across children’s services, including introducing an entitlement to family group conferences. Over 600 family group conferences, led by trained co-ordinators were held in 2016, bringing extended family and friends together to find solutions to issues that affect young people and support them in implementing these solutions. The use of family group conferencing has led to savings of c£755 per family resulting from reduced average time spent in the social care system.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 14/10/2017 10:53:56 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
